Sunday was my last day at Starbucks. Bittersweet, but welcomed. We did lots of grilling, baby pool swimming, fresh fruit eating & hanging outside on our deck.

Yesterday we took Huxley to the Devon Horse Show/Fair.(I forgot my camera, dangit.)

Hux rode on his first Ferris Wheel, tried a lemon (& liked it!), and saw horses jumping! Mama had her first Funnel Cake...kind of like an Elephant Ear, but different shape/texture and it's covered in powdered sugar! Soooo good, but so very bad.Despite some ridiculously hot hot heat we had quite the nice little holiday.

I mean, look at this beautiful boy...it's hard not to have a good time whenever he's around.

It's been a trip...& it's been nothing but smiles, goos, gahs, giggles, the occasional case of hiccups, and wide-eyed wonder.

Huxley can now roll over from tummy to back & visa versa, he can hold his head up very well as he tries to navigate his way around.Yes, he's skooching backwards, & beginning to roll where he wants to go. When in crawling position Hux becomes quite frustrated because he just wants to go!

I haven't completely dove in..I'm just kind of dipping a few toes in at this point.Testing the waters.

We have a slew of oldschool cloth diapers that we've been using for burp cloths, so instead of investing a pretty bill or two in new All In One Cloth Diapers or Pocket Cloth Diapers I bought some diaper pins & covers and approached diapering like my Grandmothers would...and did!

After all was said & done I think I'd really really really enjoy cloth diapering, but with the new fancy ones...because the old style turned Huxie's tush area etc. etc. into a greenhouse.

Well, 18 weeks have come & gone.Huxley gets bigger by the minute & never stops wiggling, moving, exploring, giggling.He's just the best.This weekend we got all spiffied up for our friend's Eric & Kristen's wedding! They are such amazing people & make a beautiful couple! I met them through, you might have guessed it--- Starbucks!Hux loves hanging with Kristen when the Mama's at work & we are so blessed to have them in our lives.

Hux loves it.Especially in his European Wash Pod.He's loved it since day one & still really enjoys how it cradles him in there with enough room to splash around. Mama likes it since there isn't Lake Huxley on the floor after bath time & cleaning it is a breeze---and it's far quicker sanitizing his tub as opposed to our big one.

& they're super affordable too...hands down a must have in your baby arsenal!

I had to pull out Huxley's Baby Book lastnight & really lay down some ink.

He has SO many first accomplishments to log, especially his first taste of big people food!

It's kind of a tradition in our family to let the teething babies gnaw on a cleaned off rib bone, and so, Huxley had his initiation with Grandpa followed by a few first bites of organic rice cereal mixed with boobie milk.
